Please Join CCRA's 311 Group to Report on Big Belly Failures
Download the app or go online to Philly 311
to register. Search for and join the group Center City Residents'
Association. Snap a photo and upload it to the 311 app for instant
gratification.
Joining
this group is the best way to track the number and location of
"service requests" related to Big Bellys in our areas, and also the
disposition of the service requests. This will allow us to document the
severity of the problem and the Streets Department response. Then we
can share the data with our council representatives and the Streets
Department and demand change!
